## What it is
Kea is a batteries-included state management library for React, built on top of Redux and Reselect. It organizes state into composable 'logic' containers with actions, reducers, selectors, and listeners, and offers plugins for routing, data loading, forms, and sagas.

## Use cases
- manage state in a react app
- replace redux boilerplate with simpler state management
- handle form state in react
- load remote data with loading states
- share state between react components
- add typed state stores with typescript
- test state logic with action chains

## When to choose
- you want redux power with less boilerplate in a react app
- you need built-in solutions for forms, routing, and data loading
- you want strong typescript support with generated types
- you need redux compatibility in an existing redux codebase

## When to avoid
- you use react strict mode, which kea does not support
- you prefer a minimal state library like zustand for small apps
- your project is not react-based

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: state-management, frontend-framework, form-handling, routing
- domain: frontend, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: react, redux, redux-saga, typescript, hooks, selectors, logic-builders, nodejs, web-server
